In Case You Missed It: Disney News and Rumors – Week of June 16, 2017

I know I’m in the minority, but I love Cars. It’s one of my favorite Pixar movies. (Cars 2…yeah….not so much…terrible sequel.) But I have to say, I am super excited to see Cars 3 this weekend! I saw the preview at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and it certainly seems to have the feel of the first film. What about you? Are you going to head to the theater this weekend?

This week, see why geese caused trouble at Disneyland, what Julie Andrews thinks of the upcoming Mary Poppins sequel, what new dessert people are using their minds over at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and more.

In Case You Missed It – Disney and Universal Orlando News and Rumors

It’s been one year since a little boy was killed by the alligator attack at Walt Disney World. A special lighthouse will be erected honoring Lane Graves.

Wolfgang Puck’s will be closing on August 1 at Disney Springs. (As a reminder, a new location will be build called Wolfgang Puck’s Bar & Grill.)

Are you wanting to hit DisneyQuest before it officially closes at Disney Springs? There are some discounts for Annual Passholders and Florida Residents.

Did you know that The Voices of Liberty also perform as a group called Voctave? This video is mesmerizing.

If you are looking for details on Star Wars Land, you’re going to want to attend the D23 Expo.

Poop happens. Nobody likes to be surprised by it…courtesy of geese. (And yes….police were called about this incident….and yes…this really was a trending story.)

The Walt Disney Company was recently honored with several Halo Awards.

One thing three generations of workers can agree on: they love Disney.

Disney is currently seeking a new patent so that people couldn’t easily scan Disney’s trademarked figurines and print them out at home on a 3D printer.

Want to know why we keep getting sequels to movies? The fifth Pirates movie recently crossed $600 million worldwide this weekend at the global box office. While it may not be playing as well as Pirates films had in the past here in the states, these films are still doing gangbusters overseas.

If you read Daisy’s Best Week Ever this week, you would have seen her frank discussion of the new water park. The Motley Fool discusses why any fixes to the park won’t be able to be done overnight.

Cauldron Cakes at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter have changed…they are cute….and I’m of the thought that you can never have enough icing, so this looks delightful.

Yes I enjoy Cars – such a variety of characters. I may not catch the new one in the theater though. Love the Cars section at Art of Animation. >> So someone really called the police and fire department over goose poop? And the article had to stress twice “and no one was injured” What a world we live in.
